Slick portfolio of the Danish Villads + Ammentorp. Very simple layout, brought to life by the fast and smooth animation and interactivity. Highlighting the duos best work in a really effective way – straight to point with a bit of polish.

Website of French agency Panolie. Pretty interesting, standard layout but all with a twist and some injected personality. The scrolling up and down also brings weird blobs and interactive things onto screen, all adding a nice feeling of depth. Clicking on a project and clicking left/right shows a really cool 3d cloth effect. Nice attention to detail and a bit different.
Portfolio of Jongmin Kim, interactive designer and photographer. Nice work in a fresh portfolio, interactive work in a smooth 3d interface, and all his photos plotted by date and location on a map. Loads of cool transitions and animation, interactivity is simple and smart, nicely designed – all in all a good portfolio site with a bit of extra polish that really makes it come alive.
Site of photographer Brandon Savoy. Simple and minimal this site shows full screen photography with a very clean interface which works nicely. The animation is very fluid and allows you to watch a slideshow of his work. Does the job well, simple, clean and good looking.

Website of Grimm Gallun Holtappels, German agency. Combining real environment and 3d interactive objects this site really comes alive. Travelling through what looks like an office, thumbnails of their projects can be dragged along through the space and expanded to find out more. By clicking on the coloured boxes you can explore lots of different areas, the zoom function is really cool as well. I love the motion tracking of the 3d objects and the faux camera / POV movement. The animation is super smooth, with an amazing level of detail and timing. It looks great also, with every button and feature well considered and designed. Love it!
Portfolio of Japanese agency TYA. Set in a floating 3d space which is explorable through mouse movements. The ‘creative’ section highlights their work, with thumbnails moving through a floating space – allowing you to sit back and watch the projects float past. Nice camera movement and cool transitions and animation.
Portfolio of Canadian photographer Jean Malek. Full screen photography, zoomed in so you can see all the details and pan around. Interesting navigation based around triangles that unfold to reveal the next photo and also form the menu. Nice buttons, cool animations and transitions.

Website of photographer David Maupilé. Based around a long sheet of folded paper in 3D, with each photograph folded – when clicked camera zooms in and displays photo bigger. Very clean and minimal with a nice navigational interface, well made and looks great! Very cool…
Portfolio of photographer Uli Heckmann. Unique photoshop inspired portfolio, featuring the mask tool everywhere! I love the way the alphabet is used as thumbnails for the photographs – filling once you have seen that picture. Nice transitions and interactivity, very cool.

Portfolio of retoucher Cristian Girotto. Clean and simple, and really well made. WHen you click on a photo it shows the original version, click again to show the retouched version – simple and works really well. Love the zoom function too. It’s really interesting to see the difference between the original and the retouched version, to see the amount of work that went into it. The thumbnail menu at the top also is great. Fantastic portfolio site.

Portfolio of Amsterdam based digital agency Momkai. Very simple layout that works really nicely, they also show a vast amount of work, which you can choose to see if you wish – so it’s not presented in an intrusive way. Many little touches and cool animations that complete the whole package.
Slick portfolio of photographer Tony D’Orio. Focussed around his gallery of photos shown by thumbnails, that when clicked all slide over to reveal a larger version. Lots of nice features, I love the thumbnails – the way they work when the screen is resized, the rollovers. Even the way with the larger pictures either appear left or right of the screen. The whole site is well considered and well produced, a really nice portfolio site.

Photographers group in China. Very simple, I like the desaturated grid of photos on the homepage – which all change with time, with pretty slick animations in the zoomed in view. Also love the way the backdrop / icons change when the photo is dark/light, pretty cool.

Portfolio of Danish artist Kenneth Elgaard. Clean and minimal, drag based interactivity – set around a cube with each side a different section of the site. What I like is the way you navigate the portfolio, by dragging along you view the work, and by dragging up and down you zoom in and out. All makes for a fluid, easy to use experience.
